Review by RWM: Interesting templates for what might be a shared spiritual exploration. There is life and soul growing in these encased images. The work evokes the depiction of inspiration. One might identify with this art and go along for the journey, experiencing psychic growth along the way.

Comment by AB: Martin Facey's art is as much about the process as it is about the product. He essentially paints backwards by layering all manner of materials together (such leaves, pieces of blueprints, acrylic paint, fabric, twigs, etc), one on top of the other, onto a heavy-duty piece of plastic wrap, then rolling the mixture up like a strudel, flipping it over and applying it to a panel upside down, last layer first and first layer last. The result? Unique and surprisingly durable organic abstractions.

Comment by AB: Amorphous forms by Joel Jones will likely catch your attention here. Also on the docket are deep abstractions by in muted shades of orange and beige Ann Simms and grid works by Jeffrey Thompson.
